[QUOTE="roundss, post: 212021, member: 10556"] They were fired once. All except the HSM were weighed, checked for length, and chamfered. My brother had shot a box of the HSM and mixed them in with other brass that I had loaded and been shot. I missed a step (or two) when loading the batch and did not try all the empties before I loaded them. I know that I did not check them for length. Stupid, rookie mistake, and the bad part is I've reloaded here and there for 25 years..........I've got my "here's your sign" on right now. Discovery Channel Life Lesson #29: Don't get in a hurry or skip steps while preparing something that goes boom. You know the part in the cartoons where the character does something stupid and turns into a jackass for a brief second..........:o that's me. I'm laughing now because I've had people ask me "why do you spend so much time weighing them, measuring them, cleaning, etc.........." THIS, is exactly why. THIS is what happens when you get in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
